Weíre flying out of Birmingham with a +1 stop both ways. Supply and demand quickly increased direct flights above what I was willing to pay.

How longs the journey total? Iím genuinely intrigued by what people have been willing to accept. My mates are booking the Brum - Alicante - Porto and Porto - Dublin - Brum. Itís cheap but thereís like 4 hour stop off. I canít do it because it means Wednesday off. But itís a false economy in my mind anyway

Sometimes it is a LOT better to have a few hours stop. Having only an hour leaves you wide open to missing the connecting flight if there is any delay.

When I fly to Oz I always have picked a schedule with about 4 hours in Singapore to stretch the legs and have a couple of beers rather than run from one flight to another. Sprinting across an airport for connections is just not a lot of fun.

(Although in this scenario I would infinitely prefer a direct flight as Porto is only a couple of hours)

Wolves are 5/2 for this game with Bet365. I'd say that's too big given that we were marginally the better team in the first game and are now playing much better. Even with Braga being at home I'd have us around 7/4

Prediction 24th January: 14 games to go: 6 wins, 5 draws, 3 defeats - final points 57 when the league finishes in May 2023...

The first game was awful. They made no effort to leave their half and we were playing that awful hoof ball which was easy to defend against.

Would have been ok to chalk it up as a bad day and take a point but we gifted them a goal.

Iíd say weíd have to be favourites. They arenít very good. But it wonít be easy. They are going pretty averagely in a poor league but have done alright so far in the EL albeit against a Besiktas team is disarray and the fortunate 3 points against us.

A draw isnít a good result for us. Pretty much guarantees 2nd place and potentially a shit draw. Weíve already qualified Slovan Wonít win both games, doubt theyíll win either unless Braga play reserves and we wonít lose to a Besiktas team already eliminated on a cold night after a long travel.

Tbh, I quite enjoyed that game (not the result), thought it was the start of us trying to get back to something like our play of last season. Unfortunately one of our trademark defensive fuckups of that period plus some woeful finishing let us down

Seeks friendly banter and someone who can move Country without thinking about it

Id rather risk attacking from the get go and lose than hold back for the draw. A point doesnt really affect us, a win pretty much guarantees we win the group, which will be a huge difference for next round.
